About your future job

After balancing the supply and demand you review the outcomes with Engineering Segment and Discipline Managers.

After the management chooses a scenario or solution you monitor that this is executed within the business. In this role you have a close collaboration with the Demand Manager, Bid Management, PMO and Engineering Management to collect your input, align and present outcomes and develop scenario’s. Last but definitely not least, you initiate, lead or contribute to improvements of this part of the S&OP process.
